>Description:
Primary IDE drive:
ad0 19092MB <WDC WD200BB-75CAA0> [38791/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSDMA
Secondary IDE drive:
Seemingly and either new enough (or large enough) I have not
figured out which is the more important factor.
Upon install I get the following:
ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
ata0: resetting devices
I originally thought the problem was only with Western Digital Drives but I have been able to repeat with
any drive that is big enough. It seems to only occur when a drive is connected
on the primary IDE cable with another drive. A small (4Gig) drive
(Maxtor) connected as "ad1" does not cause the problem to be exibited.
The bottom line is that the OS cannot be installed if a drive of sufficient
size or new enough is connected as the second drive on the first IDE
chain. Windows can see and work with both drives.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try the install again.
